Amethyst is a purple form of quartz. I became fascinated with the structure of the crystals after zooming in on this photograph of an amethyst geode that I took a week ago in New Hampshire at Gemstar Gemstones in Enfield. I saw the individual crystals in the photos below. This was the first time I ever saw a hexagonal prism in "real life." I have read that the crystals have a tetrahedral structure. Tetrahedrals are one of the five Platonic Solids (regular polyhedra). I also read that amethyst crystals are trigonal, meaning they have three-fold symmetry. An excellent discussion of trigonal crystals appears here.
Here, I zoomed in on the first photo. You can see the six-sided prisms here.
Here I zoomed in even further and clearly saw the hexagonal prism.
